Vivah ke liye Kundli Matching: Ashtakoota Gun Milan

Match by name and by date of birth: what you can (and can’t) match

Our tool matches by exact birth details, date, time, and place for both partners, because an authentic gun milan needs each person’s exact Moon nakshatra. Six of the eight kootas are computed from the Moon’s birth star, and the Moon changes nakshatra roughly every day, so the precise time and place are what make the score trustworthy.

The popular “gun milan by name” or “kundli matching by name” shortcut works differently: when the birth time is unknown, it estimates each person’s nakshatra from the first syllable of the name, the Namakshar. It is an approximation, not a substitute for full birth-chart matching, and should never be treated as equally accurate. A name does not contain a Moon position; it only points at a likely starting syllable.

You can also match by date of birth alone: the date narrows the Moon to a range of signs, but without the time it can’t pin the exact nakshatra, so the six star-driven kootas stay approximate. For a real 36-point score, give both partners’ full birth details. If you only have names or dates, treat the result as a rough indication and confirm it with the full chart later.

How this relates to South-Indian porutham

The 8 kootas of Ashtakoota

Per-dosha deep dives: Nadi, Bhakoot, Rajju, Gana & Mangal

Each major dosha below names only the astrological mechanic that causes it, the points it costs, the tradition-hedged meaning, and its specific cancellation (bhanga) conditions. A dosha is a flag to understand, not a verdict. Your result page computes the Nadi, Bhakoot and Mangal checks for your pair; Rajju and Gana are described here as tradition, and are not scored as named doshas.

Kisi bhi ek taraf ki poori single-chart jaanch ke liye — jisme Sade Sati aur har nirshkarsh ke peeche ke kaaran shaamil hain — Dosha calculator (Mangal & Kaal Sarp) chalaayein. Ye page do kundliyon mein doshas ki tulna karta hai, jo ek alag kaam hai.

How the Ashtakoota system works

Ashtakoota, also written Ashtakoot, means “eight kootas” (eight factors). Each koota compares one dimension of two birth charts and awards a fixed maximum number of points; the eight maxima add up to 36. The total is your gun milan (also spelled guna milan), the headline number in any horoscope matching for marriage. Kundli milan and kundali milan are the same idea, the umbrella term for comparing two charts.

Aath kootas mein se chaar (Varna, Vashya, Graha Maitri, Bhakoot) Chandra rashi se dekhe jaate hain aur inke 15 ank hote hain; baaki chaar (Tara, Yoni, Gana, Nadi) Chandra nakshatra se dekhe jaate hain aur inke 21 ank hote hain. Nakshatra rashi se kahin zyada sookshma hota hai, aur adhikaansh ank isi ke paas hote hain, isliye asli score ke liye poora janam-nakshatra chahiye hota hai aur sirf rashi ya sirf naam par aadhaarit andaaza iski jagah nahi le sakta.

What your score means

Shaastreey paddhati 36 mein se 18 ko woh aadhaar-rekha maanti hai jahaan se shuruaat hoti hai, aur 18 se 24 se kam ko saamaanya, 24 se 32 tak ko paramparaagat roop se anukool, aur 32 se upar ko durlabh aur atyant shubh maana jaata hai. Seemayein neechli kinaare se padhi jaati hain, isliye theek 24 ka kul yog 24 se 32 waali shreni mein aata hai aur theek 32 bhi wahin baithta hai, jo isliye mahatvapurna hai kyonki aadhe ank ke kaaran bhinnaatmak yog aana saamaanya baat hai. Ye granthon ke maargdarshan hain, aur inhein maanne ke bajaay samjhna zyaada zaroori hai. Gun milan ka kul yog do Chandra sthitiyon par chali gayi aath tulnaayein hain, isliye ye lagbhag har us cheez se anjaan hai jo asal mein ye tay karti hai ki do log aapas mein kaise nibhaate hain, aur yahaan koi bhi pankti ye nahin batati ki koi ank itna achha hai ki uspar amal kiya jaaye.

Kundli matching for love marriages

The same Ashtakoota method applies whether a match is arranged or a love marriage; it simply describes traditional compatibility themes between two charts. A lower score does not mean a love marriage can’t work, it points to areas worth understanding together. Many couples use the score as a conversation starter rather than a gate.

What if the score is low

A score below 18 is traditionally read as a caution, not a verdict, it does not mean a marriage will fail, and many couples with lower scores have harmonious marriages. Several doshas also have cancellation conditions that may already apply to your charts. Where tradition prescribes remedies, the Nadi Nivarana puja, donation of gold and grains, or the Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra, these are traditional practices believed to support harmony, with no guaranteed outcome, belief-based practices, not a medical or fertility treatment.

Dashakoota vs Ashtakoota

Two systems coexist. Ashtakoota (8 kootas, 36 points) is the North-Indian standard and the method this tool uses. Dashakoota is a 10-aspect South-Indian system that adds factors such as Mahendra and Rajju on top of the core kootas. The porutham bridge above maps the overlap, but our tool scores the Ashtakoota eight, it does not compute all ten Dashakoota aspects.

Beyond the score

Gun milan is a starting point, not the whole picture. A full reading weighs each partner’s complete birth chart, their dasha periods, and current transits, the timing layers a single number can’t capture. For a marriage decision, a one-on-one consultation adds context this calculator cannot. You can talk to an astrologer directly from Wishastro.
